SULKY-PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 238,766, dated March15, 1881.

Application filed June 9, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HORACE L. DANIELS, ofRedwood Falls, in the county of Redwood and State of Miunesota,haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Sulky-Plows; and Idoherebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to whichitappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements insulky-plows; and it consists in the construction and arrangement ofparts, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawings, which fully illustrate my intention, Figure lis a plan view, and Fig. 2 a side elevation.

Arepresents the bent axle; B,the wheels, and O the seat attached to theaxle.

To one side of the axle is secured the beam D, to the forward end ofwhich is secured the brace-rod E, the rear end of which is secured tothe axle.

To the rear ends of the beam D and rod E is secured a bail, F, workingin hearings in said parts D E, whereby it may be swung up or down bymeans of a lever, Gr, secured to an extension of the bail at one sideand may be maintained in its position by means of a rack, H, with whichsaid lever engages,wl1ich is secured to the beam D.

To the bail F is hung, in any suitable manner, the plow-beam I, carryingthe plow J.

To the forward end of the plow-beam is secured a rod, 0, extendingupward and pivoted (No model) b to the lever b. Said lever b is pivoted,at or near its center, to a rod, 0, extending crosswise of the frame andsecured to the parts D E, near their forward ends. The lever 12 is ofcurved form, and is provided at either end with the foot-rests am. Bybearing down upon and retaining the pressure upon the end an the end ofthe plow-beam is raised, lifting the plow out of the ground. By bearingupon the end 00 the pointof the plowis held into the ground.

The parts D and E are secured to the axle A by means of clamps d passingaround said axle, and loosened or tightened, as desired,by means of nuts6. By this arrangement it will be seen that either side of the devicemay be adjusted up or down upon the axle for the purpose of leveling,and that it can also be adjusted to receive any plow independent of theheight of its plow-beam.

By the peculiar construction of the foot-lever b the pressing of theforward end depresses the plow-point, while pressing the rear end raisesthe same from out of the ground.

Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

The lever 12, of curved form, and pivoted at its center and providedwith the foot-rests a: 00, in combination with the plow-beam I, carryingplow J, bail I, and lever Gr, constructed and operatingsubstantially asand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
